ha ha ha, I have a lot of people saying that to me lately. I travel quite a bit, teaching sugar arts at various cake shows and other events. It is one of the highlights of my job. Teaching the sugar arts to up and coming sugar artists is such an amazing experience. This is because the look on their faces when they realize that they can do it too is priceless. It's almost like seeing that 5 year old freak out about how cool their cake is. Priceless. The joys of the job.

Well, to answer your questions (in case you wanted to know) below are some of the way too cool places that I'll be in the next few months. Websites are listed also so you can check out each one.
